Fire in an ASYLUM

CLEVELAND, O., October PA fire
broke out this evening at the Northern
Ohio Insane Asylum, during the weekly
dance given the more tractable of the
patients. While they were ENJOYING
themselves the cry of" Fire" was raised
and flames and smoke suddenly poured
into the dancing hall, creating a fearful
panic among the $50 inmates. AS soon
as the first excitement abated the at
PENDANTS made a courageous rush and
moved the unfortunates who had been
overcome. The bodies of six women,
who were sutfocated, were recovered !;
three more were found in an injured
condition.
Two of the dead were understandable.
The others were Mrs. Margaret Pitts
Miss Jennie Hamm, Miss Evelyn Serb
ner and Mrs. Charlotte KnowIton. One
of the injured may die. But for the
heroic conduct of the physicians and
attendants, who rushed in the binding
smoke and flames and dragged the
terror-stricken insane people from the
hall, the loss of life must have been
terrible. The fire started in the laundry,
acne story building which adjoins the
wing IN which the chapel is located. BY
prompt response and active work,
the iremen prevented q dis
astrous spread of the flames and
the loss of property will fall
below $4,000. Had the fire occurred
any other night of the week, there
would have been no loss of life.

Heavy Defaulter

STAFFORD SPRINGS, Connecticut, Oc-
tober IA great sensation was created
here this afternoon, when the fact be
came known that R. A. Hicks, cashier
OF the Stafford National Bank, was
Gefaulter to large amount. Upon
the banks door was the notice
that the institution was clio I'd. pending
an investigation. National Bank EX-
aminer Forman said to an Associated

ined the Stafford Bank, I discovered
checks had been drawn by R. A.
Hicks, the treasurer. on the Third
National Bank OF Springfield, II. SIS. to
the amount Of Sl3 200. I then
suspected something decidedly wrong
in the bank affairs, and upon further
investigation discovered the cashier
had emily $500 to his credit. The exact
amount of the deECiI can be ascer-
tsiued when al the checks that
haVe been drawn on the New York and
Boston banks are presented ana state
ments rendered by those banks The

amounts due the bank from its

The falslty of these entries has been
clearly shown by careful comparison
of his books with the accounts of New

ON THE CONFESSION OF HIS son
A Sensation Created in Stafford

OF a Big Defalcation-Etc
ON THE CONFESSION OF HIS SON
A Mystery Cleared Up.

FRANKLIN, Mass, October 12:-David
L. Stain was arrested to-day by Boston
officers, charged with being concerned
in the Dexter. Me bank robbery and
the murder of the treasurer, J. w.
Barron, nine years ago. Stain has lived
here several years, and has worked at
boot and shoe repairing. He is reported
to be worth several thousand dollars.
Only $200ln money and $500 in bonds
were secured in the robbery.
New YORK, October 12-The World,
to morrow, will publish story twelve
columns in length, giving the re-
suits of its investigations into the rob-
berry of the Dexter, Me-, Bank on Feb
ruary 22d, 1873, and the murder of its
treasurer, j. w. Barron, which led to
the arrest at Franklin, Mass, to day, of
d. L. Stain, charged with the crime The
arrest was made on the confession of
Chas. Francis Stain, son of the prisoner.
The confession is to the effect
that David Stain, Oliver Smith alias
Cromwell, well-known criminal, and
four other men, Andrews, Scott,
Thompson and Kelly, secured duplicate
keys to the bank; that Stain and
Cromwell entered the bank, believing
every body out of it. Stain was in the
front and going through the door came
face to face with Barron, whom he
knocked senseless with a slugshot.
He and Cromwell then gagged
and bound Barron, and fear
ing interruption, did net dare
to rife the vault, though the doors
stood open, merely contenting them
selves with taking the money and bonds
from. the cash drawer. They were
afterwards driven to Skowhegan by
young Stain, and separated the next
day. After learning of Barron's death,
from that day to this the guilty parties
have dropped out of sight, and the
murder has been one of the standing
police mysteries.

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
as well as relieving the burden of home
manufacturers. Especially is this the
case with GREEN'S august Flo,cer and
Boschee's German Syrup, as the retluc-
ton OF thirty-six cents per dozen, has
been added to increase the size Of the
bottles containing these remedies,
thereby giving one fifth more medicine
in the Is cent size.
The August Florer for Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint, and the German
Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles,
have perhaps, the largest sale of any
medicines in the world. The advan-
tage of increased size of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the sick
and afflicted, in every town and village

Tor 10 cents remain the same size. q

STRONG NOT THE ONLY MAN TO
BLAME

Says the Pioneer Of Assumption ::
Brig. Gen. Strong, who has been
indicted for withholding State
money for the sale OF ticket paper
used at the last election, claims
that the deficiency is due by par
ties who bought the paper and
failed to settle for it. General de-
malls b. these parties are being
bseseS to newspapers, ignoring any
and all claims Of the ex-Secretary
for paper obtained from him. This
looks as if the ex-Secretary was in
a bad way: and admitting the
truth Of his defense, why did he
wait until legal proc edings were
commenced by the Attorney Gen
before he assigned any reason for
his defalcatiOn I? The case looks
rather blue for his future. From
our present view it looks very
much as if some one else had failed
in his duty to the State. In the
performance of official duties the
ties Of good feeling and friendship
should be ignored.
St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1887-01-15

in that" You did not ask the
advice and consent of the Senate
in that matter,' suggested a lady
present. No, indeed, [ didn't,
calculated Mr.. Cleveland, as if very
thankful that the Constitution of
the United States did not make it
obligatory.
Congress will convene again to-
morrow. Since it adjourned for
the holidays, General Logan's
death has made the Illinois Sena-
torship a subject Of interesting
speculation. 1t is regarded as a
matter of considerable political i'm
portance, for the reason that who
ever receives the complimentary
vote of the Democratic Members of
the Illinois Legislature, will nat
urally become a conspicuous figure
of his party two years hence, in
case the Democrats should then
control the Legislature.
1t is too early to say what effect
the death of General Logan will
have upon his party, but the opin-
ion is freely expressed here that
the Republican organization of H.
inois will be seriously broken by
the loss of it's trusted leader, so
much so as to render the capture
of the state by the Democrats, at
the next election, more than prob
able. By that time it will be thir-
ty years since All Illinois Democrat
was elected to the United States
Senate and the scramble for the
place, with the slightest chances Of
success, would be unprecedented.

WHO WILL BE OUR NEXT GOV.
ERNOR?
Webster Democrat Tribune.

Webster Democrat Tribune.
Although it is Is months till
next election the press OF the State
are busily discussing the question
as to who will be our next Cover
nor.
Nichols, Moncure and McEnery
are the only three names promi-
nently spoken OF.
McEnery is evidently weaker
than he was in the last campaign
and we do not believe he will be a
candidate. His recent tour through
this country was doubtless to find
out his strength i'll North Loui-
siana.
We are told by well informed
parties that it is exceedingly doubt
full that he can carry Ouachita next
time and that Lincoln, jackson,
Union and Madison which went
for him before are certain to go
against him next time. In the 4th
district he only received two votes
from Vim, five from Caddo and
four and a fraction from BOSSler.
By proper management every one
of these votes can be controlled
against him and this his managers
doubtless see. 1t has consequently
been lately rumored that McEnery
will come down in favor Of Mai. Z.
\. Burke and the fight will be mar
rowed down between Burke and
Nichols. In this ease these woald
be hot and close fight, for Burke
and Nichols are the two most
powerful leaders of their respective
factions and there is no friendship
existing between them. Burke is a
much more able and popular man
than McEnery and would give
Nichols close run.
But as yet there is no definite
programme arranged If the Eus
tis faction find they cannot elect
their man they will agree OH a
compromise man.
Nichols is our first choice and
nothing would please us better
than to see the tue and brave sol
dier made Governor again, but if,
for the sake of harmony, we be
lieye that 1t is best to elect some
incorruptible man like Judge Mon
cure Governor, we will support
him. That is if the Eustis faction
compromise on Judge Moncure we
will support him, for we know him
to be incorruptible, and the other
faction know too he would treat
them Justly, that he would harmon
ize the two wings OF party and
bring peace in the Democratic
family.
Should they support Moncure we
would know then that they had
made up their minds to give up
their monopolies aud support better
government. If they do not, we
then say pit the strongest man
against them which is Nichols.
We are for peace and harmony
and good government if the other
side want it let them make the first
move by endorsing Judge Moncure
and then we are willing to unite on
him. If not then give us Nichols
and we will sweep the State.

A rumor is going the rounds at

A rumor is going the rounds at
Washington that encouragement
will be given to Mr.. Morrison by
the protectionists to introduce
again the subject of tariff considera-
tion. They will then, it is said,
adopt the administrative portion of
Mr. Morrison's bill, and upon it
graft Mr.. RandalPs pretty little
scheme to repeal altogether the in
ternal revenue taxation, amounting
to sl2O, O,OOO,OO0 per annum. There
is probably, however, sufficient
honesty and common sense left in
the moribund house to keep it from
at its last moments such
a measure of fiscal folly and of
egregious injustice to the taxpayers
of this country.-States.
